Indianapolis Regional Airport[1][2] (ICAO: KMQJ, FAA LID: MQJ) is a public use airport in Hancock County, Indiana, United States.[1] Owned by Indianapolis Airport Authority, it is 12 nautical miles (22 km) east of the central business district of Indianapolis.[1] The airport is also 7 nautical miles (13 km) northwest of Greenfield[3] and 3 nautical miles (6 km) southwest of McCordsville.[4] It was known as Mount Comfort Airport until March 2011.[2][5]

This facility is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation reliever airport[6] for Indianapolis International Airport. Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Indianapolis Regional Airport is assigned MQJ by the FAA[1] but has no designation from the IATA[7] (which assigned MQJ to Moma Airport in Khonuu, Russia).[8]

The airport is home to the Indianapolis Air Show.[9]
